I am raising money for a The Jackie Robinson Foundation, because I had a realization that the change I want to see in the world will take generations. Those generations can be fewer if we positively change the rate of change. You can thank Newton’s Calculus for that realization! I was very sad when I realized that the evolving story of equality in America will continue long after I am gone. But perhaps a little change to the rate of change can shorten that time. So that’s why I am trying to ride 4,200 miles. To positively change the rate of change by spreading a message of unity as far as I can ride, from the Northwestern most point in the contiguous United States, to the Southeastern most point.
America is for everyone. It was founded on this principle, and so we must reinforce it. I hope the money I raise will help enlighten young people, and continue the quest for knowledge, which I am convinced will lead us to equality. That’s why I am doing this. It’s for me, and it’s for my country! I love the United States of America, but I love it more when we actively reinforce our values: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, independent of race, religion, or gender.
We hold these truths to be self evident.
That Long Trek is a reincarnation of That Other Long Trek, which traversed the North American west, from LA to Fairbanks, and once owned The Greeley Hill in Portland, Oregon. That Other Long Trek was stolen. That Long Trek (pictured) has replaced it. That Long Trek will soon traverse a path from Cape Flattery, Washington to Miami, Flor
That Long Trek is a reincarnation of That Other Long Trek, which traversed the North American west, from LA to Fairbanks, and once owned The Greeley Hill in Portland, Oregon. That Other Long Trek was stolen. That Long Trek (pictured) has replaced it. That Long Trek will soon traverse a path from Cape Flattery, Washington to Miami, Florida. The route is chosen because it connects the most Northwestern point in the Contiguous United States to the most Southeastern point.
This ride is 4200 Miles, in honor of Jackie Robinson - Number Forty Two
